The Trump admin told hospitals to stop reporting COVID cases to the CDC and report them to a database in Washington instead. Fuckery, or is the CDC really that useless under Redfield, and I choose both. (New York Times)

Joe Biden signals openness to eliminating Senate filibuster is nice and all, but what does that have to do with the price of rice in China? Senate makes its own rules, and Biden ain't in it. (Politico)
The New York Times knows whom to factcheck, and it is that Lyin' Joe Biden! Shameful. And I don't mean Lyin' Joe.
Here's the Biden comment the Times fact checked: "Without a uniform plan and guidance from the federal government that state and local leaders can use to inform their reopening plans, this is going to continue to be worse than it would've been otherwise." Dead-on accurate, right? The Trump administration has abdicated its leadership role during this public health emergency, especially as states struggle with trying to reopen their economies, and conditions are getting worse.
The Times however, ruled Biden's common-sense statement was an "exaggeration" because the White House did in fact release " opening up American again " guidelines, even though the Times conceded they were "vague." Truth is, many red state governors simply ignored the guidelines, in part because Trump himself signaled they should be ignored.

We got us another Steven Biss Special! Dude who loves suing Devin Nunes's Cow is now representing cartoonist Ben Garrison in his defamation suit against the Anti Defamation League (IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THEIR NAME) for saying Garrison's cartoon about puppetmaster George Soros was anti-Semitic. But my god, it's full of stars:
Prior to publication of the ADL Article, ADL knew that the Rothschilds controlled Soros and that Soros controlled McMaster. ADL also knew that Garrison's cartoon was not anti-Semitic and knew that Garrison was not anti-Semitic.
